“Propaganda serves more to justify ourselves than to convince others; and the more reason we have to feel guilty, the more fervent our propaganda.”
Eric Hoffer
“It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense, than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.”
John Kenneth Galbraith
"O that I could find in the desert a wayside shelter for travelers, that I might depart from my people. For they are all adulterers, an unfaithful mob of traitors. Their tongues are devious weapons, bent like drawn bows. With falsehoods rather than truth they have gained power. They commit one crime after another. They do not know me, says the Lord. I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, the lair of jackals. I will lay waste to Judah, a desolation where no one can live."
Jeremiah 9:2-3,11
